Frequent‘Braxton hicks’

Hi all! Don’t know if I’m just freaking myself out bc I’m so convinced I’m going to go into early labour, but I’ve just had 3 rather long Braxton hicks since 9:31 and it’s now 9:42. Should I be more concerned or try and chill out 😅😭 I’m 32 weeks today x

Also feel like I’m gonna pee myself even tho I just went and have had horrendous back ache all day, currently having another Braxton hicks now, baby has been feeling like she’s cartwheeling all day

I would definitely call the nurse or go to the doctor to be sure that it’s not early labor especially because they could give you a shot to make sure that the babies lungs are mature enough if the baby is coming

I think that’s pretty normal. When I went to the hospital for reduced movements and was hooked onto the machine, I was having constant braxton hicks for 20 minutes x

It’s normal but if you concerned just ring triage speak to midwife just to be sure and see what they say.. I been having braxton hicks they kind of similar to labour pain sometimes very intense and I think my water gonna break but so far nothing happened. Just get it checked to be on the safe side

I had constant Braxton hicks and went to the hospital for it, but my specialist ob ended up telling me that there really wasn’t any point. I was still glad I went and would do it again in the same circumstance just because I was stressed and nervous and wanted to know 100% everything was fine. They do mean what they say though, you’ll know the difference between Braxton hicks and labor contractions, if you can still speak it’s not labor 😅

Confused Over Test Result

My heads pretty blagged about this atm. I’ve had spotting & some cramping but of the 2 tests I’d have expected the clear blue one to be most accurate. Any advice?

Anyone who’s had their 2nd baby, when did you go into labour compared to your first?

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭
